The Wire: Season 1

On the deadly, drug-infested streets of West Baltimore, Maryland, a drug ring's leader's use of intimidation to clear one of his young dealers of a murder charge disgusts homicide detective Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West--Rock Star), a member of a joint homicide/narcotics unit created to investigate a single drug-dealing operation. Venting his frustration that the gang is responsible for as many as 10 unsolved murders, McNulty gets reassigned to a detail nobody wants. While his superiors and co-workers just want the heat to die down so they can drop the investigation, McNulty and an unlikely ally, narcotics detective Shakima Greggs (Sonja Sohn--Shaft), commit themselves to use any means necessary, including heightened surveillance and sophisticated wiretaps, to bust the gang and its elusive leader in this gritty police drama.
